he doesn't seem to spawn on the ice river. Is there a new place?

I killed him maybe two weeks ago. He’s still there, same place as I remember from many years ago. Rares don’t always spawn but he always seemed to be there far more often than not.

I’m sure you’ll get him keep trying.

cool. nice to get a response. Good day !

Well he did spawn after I Hit level 3 (just throwing that in there lol). I'm sure it's complete random on spawn times. I ran the trail, ran the river, recalled, and reset. I did that over and over, I would say I ran the path around 20 times. Not that bad I was just worried. It been a long time since I have played.
So in short, He's there same spot.
Have Fun Out there

That's really unlucky to have to try that many times. He spawned twice for me without trying the last time I was there; once on the way to the necromancer quest and once after completing it.

Random spawns in this game always seemed more than just random to me too. From what I've seen it's pretty commonly felt among players. Adds to the DnD feel imo.

There has always seemed to be a hidden factor that the devs have control over.

Anyone who has had to ransack a named chest more than once can probably attest to this....but the ransack itself makes it hard to get enough data. I don't think anyone has figured out if there is a hidden factor or not. But absence of drops has resulted in bug reports...

I've heard people say they only ever found a certain item with their first character. I seemed to have that experience myself many years ago. For one item, player A has to try 50+ times (literally), while player B finds the item 2 or 3 times in a row in their first 3 runs.

It's also been my experience that you won't have that bad luck with everything.

well you do know in your settings, like where you set your keystroke binding, video, and voice talk.. There is a checkbox to allow to you to get drops for your specific class. so i would say, yeah, if that is in there...lol who knows.

I'm aware. That setting shouldn't affect a named mephit spawning. And as far as I know, it doesn't affect any named item drops, just random loot. Also, there are many named items that aren't class specific.

There's a different chance to drop for different items. Without searching through all the player accounts over the years, I'll say: I think it's possible that different experiences in named item drops might be due to the given item simply having a lower chance to drop than players think (unless the drop really is bugged; which has happened). But yeah who knows.
